Seeing Love

by Cheryl Merrick

With limited vision
I didn’t see his love.

I only saw love as
the sharing of thoughts and feelings

As I began to see his love,
I was amazed
for it was all around me:---
in the front step he
repaired so I wouldn’t fall,
in the encouraging me
to take classes at college
though we had little money
and in many daily small things
like carrying in the groceries
and emptying the trash

All I had to do
was open my eyes
and see his love
